Left Hip Fracture with Surgical Fixation - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This exhibit begins with one skeletal view of the left hip region illustrating the pre-operative condition. This image is based on an actual x-ray and clearly reveals the intertrochanteric fracture of the proximal femur. Next, three steps of the internal fixation procedure are illustrated in graphic detail based on operative dictation from the procedure. Finally, one additional skeletal view is created to illustrate the post-operative condition with all fixation hardware in place.
